Consumer Goods and Retail Cosmetics, Personal Care and Household

Safety and quality are vital for the manufacture of personal care products such as cosmetics, hair and skin care products and toiletries. End consumers are increasingly demanding proof of quality, compliance and efficacy from raw materials to finished products.
